Timeout on http request via wfopen

Hello,

I'm importing data from an html table using wfopen. Unfortunately, the request is quite long since the website's response is slow.
It seems that EViews is cancelling the request before the website succeeds in responding. Thus, is there any way to increase timeout ?
Thanks a lot

Louis

Currently there is no way to increase the timeout for WFOPEN URL calls. It's something we should definitely add in the future.

My only suggestion would be to open the page fully in your browser, then save it as a static HTML file on your desktop. Then use a file reference to the html file in your WFOPEN call (or simply drag the HTML file onto EViews).
